The numbers of child/guns accidents vary widely by who is reporting it and how, but all the left-of-center news organizations have been peddling 10,000 a year. 7,00 injured and 3,000 die, this doesn't say if this is from a child finding a gun or just kids in wrong place/wrong time or intentionally harmed by firearms. I won't argue, so let's just stay with 10,000 a year. In 2012 , FBI statistics say 1:36 residended are broken into. I don't know how many residences are in the u.s., but I assume it would have to be close to 100,000,000 for a population closing on 400mil. Staying on the very low end, that leaves a couple million homes getting broken into.
